Treatment of Riesling juice with glucose oxidase (GOX) significantly modifies the taste and appearance attributes of the resultant reduced-alcohol wine. However, aroma, aroma-by-mouth, and mouthfeel characteristics are relatively unaffected except for fruit aromas such as 'lime', 'apple', and 'fruity/floral' which are generally less intense in GOX wines due to the juice aeration required. Length of flavor (persistence) is reduced in these wines and high acidity is a detracting characteristic.
Key words: reduced-alcohol wine, low-alcohol wine, glucose oxidase, catalase, reduced sugar grape juice, juice oxidation, sensory, profile, descriptive analysis
